Well I left the hospital 28 hours after surgery. I was placed in a room with a 93 year old man, who was very ill. He was placed in there at 1015 pm and they made a ton of noise while fighting with him. For the next 7 hours, he continued to set off his breathing machine and kept me up. I did not sleep for even 5 minutes. The home health aid that was with him all night kept yelling at him and taking phone calls and speaking on her cell phone. The 2nd home health aid took over at 7 am and kept up with the same crap. Finally I told the nurse I was checking myself out. So I left. I wasn't getting any benefit being there anyway, since I wasn't allowed to walk, had to pee in a bed pan, and they were only giving me Tylenol. Oh then he crapped in his diaper and they changed it in the room and stunk the whole place out and I was gagging, and almost throwing up. Terrible experience. *side note: doctor was ok with discharging me since I peed, burped, flatulated, passed the leak test, and tolerated jello*

So Monday surgery,

Tuesday miserable

Wednesday extra miserable

Today, happy, no gas pains, and waking 30 minutes a few times a day. Only pain is in my lower left quadron, presumably where they took the stomach piece out. Oxys barely do anything for it. Whatever. :)

People are selfish :( my dad just recently had a knee replacement and he had one night nurse who was a moron! He was on hourly obs and every time the nurse came in they needed to check his charts which are all digital now so on a computer screen, check his iv lines and then go... Dad had the door closed but found that the door opening and closing all night was keeping him up so he half closed the curtain and left the door open so he was in a dark room and. The nurse could easily come in and out without touching anything or waking him... Well this guy would march in and throw open the curtains and then tap away at the touch screen computer and yell to the nurses station and then every time he left he would leave the curtain open!!!! Dad had to keep calling the nurses to close the curtain again... He ended up saying something... All the others seemed to be able to do their job efficiently without waking the whole ward... People just don't think :(

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
